That shyt was still classic.

He made that match memorable, instead of boring like every other Hogan match ever.

Rock, Hall and Zigs are the kings of overselling although I may have omitted a few.

The one vs. The Rock was only good in the moment, you watch that shyt back and it's nothing special.

How? The heat is the same and that's what made the match.

Because the heat was a part of the moment.

When you look back on that match, what they did in the ring was nothing special whatsoever.

It's like saying one of Cena's top 5 matches was with RVD, it's just not true off of the actual match.

Oh, I don't give a fukk about what they do in the ring to be honest. I care about how they do it and if they are able to create drama.

A match can consist on punches, a suplex and a couple of bodyslams and I'll be fine with it as long as the wrestlers know how to tell a story and build drama. Guys like Funk, Lawler and Hogan (and even Ric Flair) never did anything special in the ring, they just knew how to work a crowd into their matches...that's all I ask tbh.

I understand what you're getting at, and is valid to a degree, but not in this case.

You don't need 500 moves to have a good match, I just like that if I re-watch the match is still great? Does is still draw me in? And that almost never happens with Hogan.

I think Barry Horowitz used to oversell big too but I haven't seen one of his matches in awhile.
